Vulcan Language - Alien language
spoken on the planet Vulcan on the sci-fi series STAR
TREK/NBC/1966-69.

Leonard Nimoy starred as Mr. Spock, a green-blooded alien from
Vulcan who served onboard the USS Enterprise as Science
Officer. During the series a number of Vulcan language terms were
spoken.

The following is a list of words with translations:

Ahn-woon - A Vulcan version of a bola, with handles at each end.
Spock used this weapon to strangle Captain Kirk while under the
madness of Plak-tow

Fal-tor-pan - Ancient Vulcan ritual used to rejoin the katra
to a person's body

Kahr-if-far - Begin the ritual action or fulfill the
point in the cycle. The phrase was spoken on the episode "Amok
Time" to open the Vulcan marriage ceremony

Katra - The Vulcan version of a soul or spirit. In the 1982 motion
picture Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Spock transferred his katra
via a mind meld to Dr. McCoy. Spock's spirit was regenerated into a
new body during the fal-tor-pan ritual in the 1984 sequel Star Trek
III: The Search for Spock

Koon-ut-kal-if-fee - Marriage or Challenge. When it is time for Vulcans
to mate, they go into the "Blood Fever" which makes their blood
burn with the mating drive. Ship's physician, Dr. McCoy once
remarked "Perhaps that's the price they pay for being so
controlled"

Lirpa - Similar to a military training baton, the Lirpa
was a traditional Vulcan weapon with a large razor edge on one end
and a large metal ball on the other. In a slashing-cutting
motions, the opponent would either be cut or crushed

Plak-tow - Blood Fever or Frenzy. It referred to the frenzy at the
height of Pon-Farr which disrupted the victim so that he focused
only on the mating fever and an intense desire to do battle

Pon-farr - Mating Time. The point in the physical development of a
Vulcan male when he must return home and take a wife. A young male
can resist Pon-farr for a few cycles, but it eventually
becomes to strong for him and so he must submit to it or die
